"But now the relationship between Jiuke and the Chinese military is closer to that of brother and brother..."
After hearing Bai Donggu's answer, Lu Yu did not show a look of surprise on his face, but asked coldly.
"I don't understand the relationship between Jiu Ke and the Chinese military, and I don't want to know. I just want to know, what do my parents do?"
The young man's eyes were full of complexity, and his face was filled with rare fear and worry.
"Your parents are the guards hiding in the shadows, the mainstay of defending this country; without the existence of Jiu Ke, there might not even be China in the world."
Bai Donggu's words may sound exaggerated, but only those who say this know how important the Nine Sections are to China!
"okay, I get it."
After listening to Bai Donggu's description, the fear and worry on Lu Yu's face faded away and returned to his dull look again.
His lips moved and he spoke slowly.
"Actually, I have been fantasizing about my parents since I was a child. I imagined that my parents were unparalleled heroes, warriors who saved the weak from water and fire, and powerful people who could stand upright."
"But now that it has happened, I would rather they were ordinary people."
Bai Donggu frowned, as if he had some opinions on Lu Yu's statement. He thought for a moment before considering the words and spoke.
"You should be proud of your parents. Members of the Nine Branches who can obtain the water emblem must have made outstanding contributions!"
"Perhaps without their efforts, China would have been destroyed long ago!"
After saying this, Lu Yu raised his face and looked into Bai Donggu's eyes.
The young man's eyes were cold and devoid of any pride.
"My dad is dead. He was hit by a truck!"
"My mother disappeared and her whereabouts are still unknown!"
"Because they are unparalleled heroes, warriors who save people and survive in fire and water, and are indomitable powers!"
"Just because they are members of the damn Nine Sections!"
"That's why we ended up like this, right?!"
Lu Yu's voice was very soft, but when it fell in the recovery room, it was like a heavy boulder!
For some unknown reason, Bai Donggu and Xiao Ran felt chest tightness at the same time, as if there was endless pressure in the young man's words!
Not to mention answering, he didn’t even dare to look at the other person!
"Lu Yu..."
Bai Donggu tried hard to maintain his breathing rate, trying to say something.
But the pressure on the young man was like an endless shock wave, suppressing the words that came to his lips!
It was as if a pair of invisible big hands pinched the neck of the Discipline Inspector Bai without any ceremony!
"No, I can't breathe..."
Bloodshot eyes spread rapidly in Bai Donggu's eyes, and he felt that the life force in his body was rapidly draining away!
what is happening? How could it suddenly become like this? !
Soon, a large number of flickering black spots began to appear in front of Bai Donggu's eyes, which was a sign of imminent fainting.
Bai Donggu had a premonition that as long as he fainted, he would never wake up again!
Just when the light in front of him was about to fade away, a scream came from beside Bai Donggu!
Like a precise iron hook, his soul that had left his body was brought back!
"Lu Yu! Stop!"
It’s that little lolita with a pair of mandarin duck eyes—Wang Xinran!
Bai Donggu tried his best to look to the side, but his body was stiff and did not obey his orders at all.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of some scarlet spreading in the air.
He was very familiar with those light particles. They were things that only appeared when a person with abilities awakened.
The scientists above seem to call it psychic energy.
"How is it possible that abilities can be awakened without foreign genes... Could it be that this little girl is contaminated by genes..."
The thoughts in Bai Donggu's mind were chaotic. He tried his best to keep thinking and control his body.
It was at this moment that a familiar yet unfamiliar emotion began to spread in this man's heart.
An emotion called fear.
Bai Donggu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so scared.
Even when zombies rushed in front of him and rushed towards him with their teeth and claws bared, the sergeant was not afraid.
But in front of Lu Yu's inexplicable pressure, he couldn't help but tremble!
"Lu Yu! Stop! Don't do this!"
Xiaoran's scream came again, Bai Donggu's eyes rolled, and his head turned a little further to the side.
This time he saw the other person's face.
The little Loli's entire face was as pale as paper, and her blue and black pupils were filled with tears.
Lu Yu's pressure was equally effective on her, but the effect was not as strong as on Bai Donggu.
At least the little girl can still shout and control some of her movements.
The second scream came out, and Bai Donggu clearly felt that the pressure on his body was lighter by three points.
He can already move his neck!
The heavy feeling in my chest is gradually relieved. Although it has not fully recovered, it is better than the previous feeling of being choked and unable to breathe.
"Lu Yu!!"
Xiaoran used all his strength and shouted for the third time!
The moment her words fell to the ground, Bai Donggu felt that the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared. His whole body seemed to have been stripped of bones, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"Forehead……"
Although he tried his best to control his body, he still inevitably fell to his knees.
Like a sinner who confesses his mistake.
"Xiaoran, do you have anything to say?"
Lu Yu did not look at Bai Donggu, but faced Xiao Ran with tears on his face and spoke calmly.
The usual gentleness in his tone was gone, replaced by only chill.
Xiaoran's lips trembled twice. At this moment, the scene when her parents were infected by the virus appeared in front of her eyes.
She was not qualified to accuse Lu Yu, nor was she qualified to say anything light-hearted.
All he could do was plead.
Or rather, begging.
"No... I just ask you not to kill innocent people indiscriminately..."
Bai Donggu was still lying on the ground panting, looking very embarrassed, completely different from the gentle man before.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately...Okay..."
Lu Yu stopped speaking, and the remaining pressure in the recovery room dissipated.
"Sir Bai, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have been so impulsive."
As if nothing was wrong, Lu Yu leaned slightly toward where Bai Donggu was lying, as if he was apologizing to the maximum extent possible.
"Ahem..."
At this time, Bai Donggu hadn't recovered yet, so naturally he couldn't see Lu Yu's movements.
After all, he is just an ordinary person. He has not been infected with the secondary virus, nor has he received corresponding strengthening.
But the other party's apology fell on his ears.
It just sounds a bit harsh.
Weakness is the original sin!
At this moment, Bai Donggu understood this truth deeply.
The world has changed. In this apocalyptic world where strength is respected, if you want to survive, you must strengthen your strength.
People without strength will be crushed to death like ants!
Even if there is no reason!
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay..."
Forced to steady his breathing, Bai Donggu adjusted his facial expression.
Under his extraordinary willpower, the expression of pain and panic disappeared from his face, replaced by a warm smile.
"I didn't understand the situation...I spoke rashly...It's me who should apologize..."
Bai Donggu climbed up from the ground and spoke slowly.
The attitude he showed was extremely cautious, and he completely took the responsibility on himself.
If someone who doesn't know it reads it, they might get the feeling that "the other person is so cowardly."
But in fact, Bai Donggu did this just to not offend Lu Yu.
Although he didn't know why there was such huge pressure on the young man, he knew one thing.
Lu Yu's strength is definitely much stronger than those first-level ability users who are genetically contaminated!
If such people can be included in the military force, the security of the Siming Mountain Refuge will be further improved.
To put it another step back, even if Lu Yu is unwilling to join the military, the cautious attitude shown by Bai Donggu will not make the other party resent him.
At best, they just resent Jiu Ke and the Chinese military.
"Haha, Chief Bai really has a good temper. How can he endure such a boring loss?"
A chuckle came from Lu Yu's mouth, as if he had seen something very interesting, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Faced with Lu Yu's strange change of attitude, Bai Donggu just smiled and did not answer.
His body was still a little weak, so in order to keep himself standing without falling, he had to reach out and hold on to the chair next to him.
silence……
Endless silence.
Time passed slowly, as if a century had passed.
In the end, Xiaoran wiped the tears from her face and called the young man's name.
"Lu Yu..."
"Um?"
Lu Yu raised his head, his eyes still filled with coldness.
"Now that we know that your parents are both members of Section 9, we might be able to find your missing mother by cooperating with the military..."
Every word Xiaoran said was very careful, and her eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past.
Even though she is a comprehensive strengthening type, even though she is the 'darling of God'.
But she still couldn't understand the young man in front of her.
My mood fermented inexplicably at this moment, mixed with worry and uncertainty, and turned into some kind of emotion.
"By cooperating with the military, can I find my mother..."
After hearing the girl's words, Lu Yu looked startled and murmured.
He felt that what Xiaoran said made sense.
The previous impulse was gone.
In fact, having said that, Lu Yu himself didn't know what happened before.
Just after hearing Bai Donggu's words, a certain dark emotion in his heart was aroused.
Under the influence of this dark emotion, Lu Yu really had murderous intentions towards Bai Donggu.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran spoke up in time to stop it in the end, so it didn't lead to a bigger tragedy.
"Xiao Ran is right. Since your mother is a member of the Nine Sections, the military will definitely cooperate with your search operation as long as she is not dead. As long as there is a slight chance, the military will try its best to realize it... "
